police_state

This clean feed policy is nothing but a joke. Put aside all the morality issues, lets just focus on the technical ones for now... do the people in charge really think that the filter will work? Why wont they listen to industry experts on this matter? It doesn't even filter p2p traffic or secure connections... (how can it without grinding traffic to a halt!)

All the filter will do is force everyone to start using secure connections + oversea proxies... (who wants to risk having the "secret police" knocking on your door one day because you clicked a link and it sent you to an "illegal" site?) The clean feed filter will not stop people who wish to access illegal material, but it WILL slow down everyone's internet connection! Next the government will ban all male/female contact because to violence against women, Australia says no!

Want to protect your child on the internet? Simple, parents should monitor what they're doing! As a tax payer and an expecting father, I'm disgusted that the government is wasting money on such a stupid idea when the money can be better spent in so many other places! The only consolation I have is that I didn't vote for KRudd, and this stupidity is going to ensure I continue not to!
